Ghosts of the Record Industry!

Nine Inch Nails aka Trent Reznor has released a new collection (is the term album now redundant?) of music online for free. Like Radiohead’s recent experiment with free online releases this has created a big buzz in the music and tech press. Is this the future of music distribution or just another cash-in on the hatred of the RIAA among file sharers and music fans? Time will tell but already there are signs of success for NIN at least - the multi-format multi priced “Ghosts” is moving like hotcakes - the demand for free downloads have caused the NIN servers to crash and the super deluxe physical version has sold out. At $300 per copy times 2500 copies sold it should at least make other artists take notice if not the record companies. Yes that is $750,000 for those who can’t be bothered with working it out!

The Irish blogging community were quickly on the case, using all kinds of colourful words to describe 02 and their pricing policy - and rightly so!
